Field Marshal Sir John Durham, nearing his eightieth birthday, looked back on years of acclaim and public honor. A hero of both World Wars, and a brilliant tactician, he had masterminded the great Allied victory in the Balkan campaign, at the battle of Vojja Lovac, during the last months of World War II.
